Okay, I ran into the problem again. The reason for the delayed
followup is that it takes a couple of weeks for it to manifest itself,
and I was on holiday for a week at the end of May (hi Jordan, hi
David!).
'ps axl' shows that all affected processes (pine, less, trn, irc,
etc., etc.) are waiting on "ttybf2", if that rings a bell for anyone.
I've upgraded our shell servers to 2.2-960501-SNAP and will continue
to watch for similar behaviour.
